About Dental Implants

Dental implants are small metal frames, or posts, that are surgically placed beneath your gums to provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Dental implants can enhance a person’s smile and more. Some of the benefits of dental implants include:

Replacement for one or more teeth without affecting the surrounding teeth

Improve facial appearance

Restore chewing, speech and digestion

Make a bridge or denture more durable, secure and comfortable

Resolve joint pain

What To Expect From
Dental Implant Surgery

Numerous
visits will occur to determine the proper and most efficient treatment plan for
your case before we actually perform the dental implant surgery. These
appointments will include x-rays and taking impressions to determine bone, gum
tissue, and spacing available for the implant. When surgery time comes, we will
numb the entire area where we will insert the dental implants and place the
implant in the bone. This procedure is painless and relatively quick. In about
3 to 4 months, the area will heal and the dental implant will combine with your
jawbone and begin acting as the root of the tooth.
